1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

High-entropy-alloy (HEA) nanoparticles containing at least five elements are an emerging family of catalysts. Due to the increased complexity of multicomponent atomic mixing, the size reduction of HEA nanoparticles down to around 1 nm is a substantial challenge, which is crucial to enhance the efficiency of atom utilization. Herein, we report a template-confined synthesis strategy for constructing a library of ultrasmall HEA nanoparticles with sizes of approximately 1 nm and compositions containing up to ten elements, including Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, and Zn. By leveraging the confinement effect of the mesoporous carbon structure and the autocatalytic reduction of the metal-precursor mixture at a low reaction temperature, we successfully achieve the uniform embedding of a diverse array of ultrasmall multicomponent HEA nanoparticles within the mesoporous framework. Additionally, we demonstrate that the 1 nm PtRuFeCoNi nanoparticles exhibit enhanced mass activity and superior atom utilization in both hydrogen evolution and hydrogen oxidation reactions, surpassing other quinary HEA and commercial Pt/C catalysts. Furthermore,
